+=====Installing EPIC=====
+EPIC should be able to compile and run on almost any modern UNIX.  Unpack the downloaded source, change into the EPIC source directory then run ''configure'':
+  ./configure
+By default, ''configure'' sets up the software to be installed to ''/usr/local''. If this is not the case for you (ie, you are //not// the superuser compiling for the entire system) then you can run ''configure'' with the ''--prefix=/path/to/somewhere'' option, for example:
+  ./configure --prefix=/usr/home/jnelson
+To compile EPIC, in the main source directory type:
+  make
+This will compile the ''epic'' (for EPIC4) or ''epic5'' (for EPIC5) and ''wserv'' programs. Once the compilation has completed successfully, you can install them:
+  make install
+This will install all the binaries, scripts, man pages, and help files into the installation path.
+=====You really need a script pack to use EPIC=====
+Without a script pack, EPIC is a faithful replacement for ircII.  This won't
+make you happy.  [[Scripts|You need to use a script pack]]. A script pack
+creates a different (better) user experience that will make you happy.
+Every script pack is
+different, because every user is different.  Try a few and see what you like!
+Most scripts are very tweakable to suit your needs.
